[You mount Black Wind and head straight north.]
[Your goal is to find your big brother in the Northern Territory and ask him for the Longevity Herb.]
["Too fast! Black Wind! You’ve flown past it!"]
[In a moment of carelessness, Black Wind carried you all the way to the Northern Sea.]
[Black Wind’s speed is too fast now, and braking is tricky. For short distances, it just zooms right past the spot.]
["Forget it, I’ll just fly on my own."]
["Sorry, big brother. I haven't quite mastered controlling my own power yet."]
["No, I think this world is limiting your true potential. You were meant to soar freely in a boundless realm."]
[Several days later, you finally meet your big brother, Chen Jing.]
[Though the frontlines are tense, as the Great Khan, he can only lounge in the rear camp, drinking wine and feasting on meat, at best serving as a spring water commander.]
[Because those at the Martial King realm cannot directly fight in the war.]
[Your true cultivation level is Martial King, but the “Eternal Half-Emperor” elevated you to Martial Saint.]
[In your big brother’s camp, you move as freely as if no one is around. You push aside the curtain of the commander’s tent and walk right in.]
["Big brother!!"]
["Hmm? A master whose cultivation even I can’t see through—don’t go mistaking me for kin."]
["I’m your fourth younger brother, big brother! Back in Luoding Village, we went up the mountain to chop firewood together. You told me to wait by a pond while you went to relieve yourself, but I got bitten by a snake."]
[Later I found out you weren’t just relieving yourself—you were watching a girl bathe..."]
[Big brother tricks you once, you’ll tease him for life.]
["Ah! It really is you, fourth brother! What brings you here? I just heard from Old Man Li that you were in the capital. You got here so fast? Could it be you’ve broken through to Martial Saint already?"]
[You clear your throat, ready to put on a show in front of big brother.]
["Accidentally broke through."]
[Big brother slaps your back with a strength that would make a gluttonous beast proud. This time, you really cough from the blow.]
["Stop pretending! Fourth brother, you’re advancing too fast. Don’t tell me you’re using some shady, forbidden method? Those methods shorten your life and offend the heavens. Our Chen family won’t stand for that!"]
["Don’t worry, I cherish my life the most."]
[Inside the camp, the soldiers under big brother’s command look at you with deep respect.]
[The Great Khan’s younger brother is a Martial Saint!]
[The Great Khan’s third brother-in-law is the Patriarch of the Shen family!]
[What kind of immortal family is this!]
[Though this is your first real meeting with big brother during this simulation.]
[Big brother already knew of your existence from Shen Qingshan, so this reunion isn’t as tearful as last time.]
[You get straight to the point.]
["Big brother, I want a Longevity Herb. I need it to…"]
["Whatever you want, little brother, I’d go through fire and water to get it for you! You don’t need to explain why—you want to use it as a toy, I’d still be happy to give it to you!"]
[Big brother grew up in the Northern Territory, his personality painted with broad, bold strokes.]
[Another layer of his character is resilience and adaptability.]
["Elder! This handsome young man is my fourth brother! He’s one of only two close kin I have left in this world! He just wants a Longevity Herb to extend his life a few years, so he can spend more time talking with me, making up for the years we were apart!!!"]
You stood on the grassland, watching your eldest brother cling to the leg of the Northern Elder who guarded the Everlasting Grass, tears streaming down his face.
As soon as the grass was secured, your eldest brother’s expression changed instantly. With a broad grin, he ran over and handed the Everlasting Grass to you.
“Here, take it! But don’t go forgetting who you are once you put on your pants. I know you’re busy, but tonight you absolutely can’t leave. You have to drink with me until we’re both drunk!”
You smiled and nodded.
“I’ll drink with you for a whole month!”
And that’s exactly what you did—you spent an entire month drinking with your eldest brother.
Every day, you toasted and laughed in the military camp, chatting with the other bold and heroic warriors, fully embracing the true spirit of manhood. It was truly a joyous affair.
You hadn’t told your eldest brother about your second sister.
For your family in the Void Realm, her journey into the Mortal Realm was no different from death.
Even though her body had been inherited by Wu Yue, she could no longer be considered your second sister.
Just as your eldest brother had said, you still had many things to accomplish, and you had to leave.
“Eldest brother, after helping the Emperor seize power, you must take time to recuperate and strengthen the warriors of the Northern Territory. It’s time to let the noble families there bleed a little.
The Shen family has been providing resources all along; we can’t keep taking advantage of them forever.
Rather than letting the great families’ resources become spoils for the Dragon Clan, it’s better to use them now for our own people.”
“Eldest brother, I’m truly ashamed. As the Fourth Brother, I now stand at the crossroads of the entire Mortal Realm’s fate, while I’m still stuck fighting minor battles in the Five Domains.”
“You flatter me too much. We’re all but grains of dust swept along by the tide of history. There’s no higher or lower in what we do.”
You parted ways with your eldest brother and headed east, toward the Eastern Wilderness, to find the Sword Master and claim the final ingredient for the Five Domains’ Sacred Pill—the Immortal Peach of the Sword Heart.
Within the Infinite Sword Sect, you met the Sword Master once again.
“It’s just a single peach. No need to thank me.”
Your status had truly changed.
In previous simulations, when the Sword Master gifted you the peach, there had been some conditions attached.
Now, the moment you asked, it was yours outright.
After all, the Sword Master was a man with a great sense of the bigger picture. Your contributions to the Mortal Realm could no longer be ignored.
“Right now, although there are still some conflicts in the Five Domains, they haven’t drawn in too many warrior factions.
The overall strength of warriors across the lands, including those beyond the Five Domains, has increased significantly.
With resources redistributed, each region has developed a certain level of self-defense capability. Communication is easier and more frequent, with mutual exchange of goods.
The coming of the Dragon Clan is now a consensus, and everyone’s goals are at least aligned.”
The Sword Master believed that a certain amount of warfare was beneficial for the future defense against external enemies.
At the very least, it ensured that the spirit of courage and a sense of crisis remained alive among the people.
If there were only peace, and everyone lay in comfort, when a powerful enemy came, they would collapse instantly, without any fighting spirit.
“You’ve put a lot of effort into these matters over the years, Sword Master. As for me, I’ve mostly stayed within the Sacred Grounds, later trapped in another realm. If it weren’t for your constant push and advocacy of the defense plans, the situation now would be much worse.”
The two of you exchanged mutual praise.
When your eyes met, there was a sense of mutual respect and understanding.
Sword Master: “I hope all our preparations will prove useful.”
You: “They definitely will!”
Afterwards, you borrowed a room within the Sword Sect to begin refining the Five Domains’ Sacred Pill.
【With the Jiuzhou Cauldron in hand, as long as the ingredients are right, refining pills is effortless.】
【The Five Domains Sacred Pill has been crafted once again!】
【“Master, are you going to eat me?”】
【A familiar little girl’s voice echoed from within the Five Domains Sacred Pill, which radiated a fragrant aura and a shimmering glow.】
he colors of other people’s emotions. Light red meant anxiety. Gray meant exhaustion. Orange meant excitement. Yellow... meant repression. At the same time, he could gain unlimited control over one of those colors. Pale cyan: relaxation. Using this ability, he started offering “two-yuan hugs,” spending an afternoon exchanging emotional-color experiences with others. Then came his final female customer of the day— a girl whose emotional color was pure black... —— A week later, Xu Chuan had become skilled at using pale cyan—Relaxation—treating it like a bottle of menthol balm whenever he needed it. That was when he discovered he had unlocked another unlimited emotional color: Purple, the color of fear. So these emotional colors refresh every week? Fine, I take it back—I’ll never call you useless again... —— Much later, after Xu Chuan had accumulated countless emotional abilities, one night, he suddenly found himself inside someone else’s dream. There, he could use the emotional colors he possessed to paint. And in her dream, he painted her a shower of pink shooting stars, spreading across the depths of the night sky...

And so, armed with a body full of passives, Liu Xuan slaughtered his way through the battlefield of ten thousand races!

lity and could only live as an ordinary mortal. He only wished to live a peaceful life. Yet he didn't know— The dog he adopted, because it ate his food, became a legendary demon king. The kitchen knife he casually forged became a peerless divine weapon, causing numerous experts to fight desperately for it. The young disciple he took in became an immortal lord that led an era, due to cultivating the techniques Ye Feng taught him. Even the skeletons he looked down on the most were ominous demon kings that suppressed countless worlds. Many years later, looking at the void shattered with a punch, Ye Feng murmured to himself: It turns out the peerless kings were myself all along...
